Just imagine the stunning visual impact you can create with the B+W 105mm Basic 090M MRC Filter in Light Red 590. This traditional filter, renowned for its role in architectural photography, has the power to transform your images. It lightens white facades, dramatically darkens blue skies, and makes clouds stand out with striking contrast.
But the B+W 105mm Basic 090M MRC Filter isn't just for architecture. It's also a secret weapon for landscape photographers, delivering greatly improved views into the distance.
